00:00This is deeply personal for me.
00:03For almost seven years, I was imprisoned on fabricated charges,
00:08accused of crimes I did not commit, all because I dared to speak out
00:14against Duterte's drug war.
00:17While I was behind bars,
00:19thousands of Filipinos were killed without justice, their families left to grieve with no answers,
00:26no accountability.
00:29Today,
00:30Mr. Duterte is being made to answer, not to me,
00:34but to the victims, to their families, to a world that refuses to forget.
00:41This is not about vengeance.
00:43This is about justice finally taking its course.
00:48I faced my case,
00:50knowing I was innocent.
00:53I stood before the courts because I had nothing to hide.
00:56Duterte now has to answer for his actions, not in the court of public opinion,
01:03but before the rule of law.
01:06This is how justice should work.
01:09Those in power must be held to the same standards as everyone else.
01:15To those who have fought this long and difficult fight,
01:19your voices mattered, your courage mattered, and
01:23today, the pursuit of justice continues.
